The name takes us to any corner of our geography, where thousands of bodies have been thrown to the river currents. The running waters take away their name, origin, history and almost all of them end up on the shore of impunity.
This is the topic of a 1965 Colombian film directed by Julio Luzardo. It deals with indolence, politicking and trivial interests gaining importance over major issues.
Dead Men's River will be projected with audio description as part of the Bogota Film Festival. Audio description is a support system for blind people. It describes characters, scenarios and plot actions during dialogue gaps.
